HTML 4.0 also allows you to explicitly link header information to columns and rows using the "headers" attribute of the <TD> and <TH> elements, e.g.:

Cups of coffee consumed by each senator

Name	Cups	Type of Coffee	Sugar?
T. Sexton	10	Espresso	No
J. Dinnen	5	Decaf	Yes

If you use the 'headers' attribute, a browser or screen reader might be able to expose or read the contents of the cells (if the user wishes) like this:

Name: T. Sexton, Cups: 10, Type: Espresso, Sugar: No
Name: J. Dinnen, Cups: 5, Type: Decaf, Sugar: Yes

because each datum is explicitly associated with its appropriate header.
